Kelli got up, put on a robe and wandered downstairs. She found her mother sitting at the kitchen table reading a newspaper. She helped herself to a cup of coffee and sat down opposite of Leila.
"Good morning, darling, how did you sleep?" Her mother smiled. Taking a sip of the hot coffee, Kelli was pensive. Not sure how she felt about her summons, she decided that now was the time to ask some questions of her own.
"I slept fairly well. Mom, can I ask you something?"
"Of course you can!"
"I enjoyed seeing Martha and I was just wondering how you met?"
"We met in college. We were roommates for a while." Was that a blush on Leila's face?
"Really? She just doesn't seem like your type of person."
"Well, I don't know what "type" of person you are talking about, but although she is a bit bossy and domineering, we got along swimmingly. She helped get me through school and I helped pick up the pieces of her often broken heart."
"Oh, I'm sorry! I meant no disrespect, mom! I actually really liked Martha."
"Okay, darling, I didn't mean to bite your head off, but she is one of my dearest friends!"
"She's invited me to lunch today." Kelli said watching her face carefully.
Leila blanched and recovered. "Really? That's lovely, but I thought we had plans for lunch?"
Was her mom offering her a way out? How interesting! Now Kelli really wanted to go. "No, I think that was tomorrow and anyway I've already accepted."
"Well, that's nice. You should have a good time, just remember when she starts telling stories that I was young once too!" Leila laughed nervously.
Several hours later Kelli pulled up outside Martha's home. She has dressed in an outfit that Alex picked out. Short gray skirt, pale pink silk shirt, strappy high heeled sandals. She nervously checked her make up in the mirror. She knew she was about to find out more about Alex and she was feeling a little guilty, but not so guilty that she wasn't going to go in.
The door opened before she could ring the bell and Robert was standing there. He was wearing a pair of tight leather shorts and a collar. She noticed that his nipples were pierced. His feet were bare.
"Welcome back Miss Kelli! So nice to see you! My mistress is waiting for you in the sunroom, please follow me."
"Thanks Robert" A little unnerved by this blatant display of submission, Kelli can't help, but imagine herself in Robert's position. He seemed so comfortable with it and she wass dying to ask him some questions as she followed him.
They entered a lovely room that was all windows, plants and flowers. There was a table set for two and Martha was already seated, sipping on an iced tea. "You look lovely, Kelli! Thank you for coming!"
"Thank you Martha." Kelli sat down and Robert filled her glass with tea.
Martha and Kelli locked eyes and Kelli was the first to look away. Martha smiled. "You know, I was quite surprised when Linda told me who you were."
"I didn't know Linda knew me." Kelli answered.
"Let's not be coy, darling. We all know who you are and that makes you a person of interest. You seem to have captured the heart of the great Alex Smith. How did you do it?"
"I don't know. We just went on a couple of dates and things happened."
"I bet they did. I know he took you to a couple of clubs. Word gets around. I just couldn't believe it when I found out it was the daughter of my dear friend! Does she know? Of course not!" Martha laughed at the expression of distress on Kelli's face. "Don't worry, your mom is not as innocent as she would have you think!"
"I beg your pardon?"
"When we were in school your mother was my special pet, so don't think she doesn't know the ins and outs of this lifestyle. Just because she doesn't swim in the pool anymore doesn't mean she doesn't remember what it's like to get wet!" Martha laughed again.
Kelli was getting uncomfortable. No wonder her mom had tried to give her an out. She sipped at her tea and said nothing.
"Robert! First course!" Martha called out and Robert appeared carrying two jumbo shrimp cocktails. He place one in front of each of them without saying a word and then left the room.
"Robert is fabulous, isn't he?" Martha asked.
Kelli, not knowing if there was a right answer, nodded yes.
"We've been together for five years, married for three. I've had other subs and slaves of course, but Robert, well, not only is he incredibly good in bed, he's also the most submissive man I've ever met. He lives to please me. Do you live to please Alex?" She shot the question at Kelli.
"I, uh, yes, well, that's between Alex and me." Kelli said nervously.
"So, you're not there yet? Something wrong on lover's lane?" Martha was almost purring.
"No, of course not! I'm just taking some time to decide if I want to continue this further."
"Oh, I see, and do you?"
"I did, I mean, I do, but now I have some questions." Kelli stumbled over the words.
"So ask away, maybe I can help."
"Would you tell me about your friend?"
"My friend? Oh, you mean Alex's last sub? I can tell you what I know, but you'll have to find out the rest from Alex. Are you sure you want to hear this?"
Kelli thought about it for a moment. Then she remembered what Alex had said "talk to friends and family", so he was willing to take the risk that she might find out. She nodded her head. Martha's smile didn't quite reach her eyes as she began.
Alex and Angel
Angel worked at the club as a bartender. She was a tall, beautiful woman with long blond hair and green cat eyes. She had firm breasts that rode high and proud on her chest. She wore a black apron over a cat suit. She loved her job and the money was good. She had messed around once or twice, but the men just didn't seem to have the confidence and the women, well they wanted her to dominate them. Not her bag. So she served drinks and watched and waited.
